“DataCite is thrilled to launch a Global Access Fund (GAF; https://datacite.org/global-access-fund.html), established to enable organizations worldwide to make their research outputs discoverable. It will provide financial support for outreach activities and infrastructure development to enable more organizations to benefit from DataCite infrastructure services. The GAF is part of the DataCite Global Access Program (GAP) made possible by grant Grant 2022-316573 from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (https://chanzuckerberg.com/). Applications are open to non-profit stakeholders within the research ecosystem (e.g. research institutions, associations, NRENs, government bodies, service providers) based in Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia.

Join us for this informative session to learn about: – The scope, eligibility and timeline of the fund – How to apply and to get support during the process – The evaluation and selection criteria…”

“DataCite is proud to announce the launch of our Global Access Program (GAP), which is designed to increase access to and adoption of PID services and infrastructure for communities beyond the Global North. The program is made possible by Grant 2022-316573 from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative….

The Global Access Program is based on three pillars: increasing community awareness, supporting and developing infrastructure, and lowering financial barriers to access. These pillars were defined and prioritized by a working group of DataCite members, including current DataCite members from Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. As a first step, through the Global Access Program, we are pleased to be hiring three new team members based in Africa, Latin America and Middle East or Asia. We believe that staff based in these regions will be best placed to understand the regional needs and opportunities, as well as delivering and refining the program….

DataCite is committed to taking a proactive role in supporting communities beyond the Global North to develop and adopt open infrastructure through a comprehensive and collaborative approach. As part of this commitment, our goal is to actively address the different challenges that currently prevent organizations from fully participating in and benefiting from our infrastructure services. …”

Implementing FAIR Workflows Project

Posted on by

“Implementing FAIR Workflows: A proof of concept study in the field of consciousness is a 3-year, multi-partner project funded by the TWCF, aimed at building and implementing an exemplar FAIR and Open research workflow based on the reality of an entire research lifecycle. The project will produce a practical and easy to use guide for other scientists to improve the FAIRness of their own research.

Project motivation

Papers only tell a small fraction of the story, hard to comprehensively evaluate a research study based on papers alone.
The complex experimental protocols and data in the field of neuroscience aggravate the reproducibility problems.
Open and FAIR research increase reproducibility and reuse, infrastructure and tools are available but adoption fragmented.
To motivate open practice adoption and FAIR compliance, researchers need concrete examples of FAIR workflows that are easy to implement.

Project objectives

To create an end-to-end FAIR workflow specification.
To enable uptake through adoption and dissemination plans with best practices.
To implement credit tracing and evaluation support for the researchers through the PID graph based on citation and reuse data.
To attest the scientific rigor of the research study.
To enhance discoverability and reuse of the research outputs….”

“In this module we present the proposal and budget for an open source library to generate CrossRef DOI XML. We imagine a world where people don’t think twice about creating DOIs, and integrate changes with confidence. The proposed libraries could be extended to improve confidence in generating XML for DataCite in web applications as well. This project is unfunded at the time of publication and we are looking for support to realise this mission….”

“The DataCite Connect event in Gothenburg provides a forum for discussion and networking for DataCite members and the broader community. The session will focus on national PID and Open Science strategies and how the DataCite community can engage in, contribute to, and support their implementation. Participants will learn about on-going efforts across different regions and will have the chance to work together to identify and discuss alignments between national strategies and their current/future plans that leverage the DataCite infrastructure and services. The outcomes of the meeting will help DataCite members and community to better understand the PID landscape in other regions, connect with PID champions and establish new collaborations. There will be plenty of time for Q&A!

This is an in person event that will not be recorded or streamed. Slides of the speakers will be made available afterwards. Make sure to use the hashtag #DataCiteConnect23 when sharing your experience on socials….”

The Make Data Count (MDC) initiative was established in 2014 to develop an infrastructure for open data metrics. A key learning from the initiative is that the community needs a clear understanding of data reuse to monitor impact, inform future funding, and improve the dissemination of research. The development of a trusted central aggregate of all references to research data across articles, preprints, government documents, and other outputs will help achieve this goal….”
